Thankful Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
It's [C]the first breath of springtime
And a warm wind picks up
the fallen blossom
And sails in circles down the [G]street
[C]A lady cycles past with
her hair in braids
As they're pulling down the awning
to the train station cafe
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]I'm alive and I'm thankful
[Em]For this time[C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Dsus4][Em][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Six o' clock, summer afternoon
Next door's kids are playing in the yard
I'm doing the dishes at the window and the
radio's [G]playing 'Superstar'
And the sun [C]falls [Bm]down on the
garden [Dsus4]next door[G]
But two young [C]boys are fighting,
[Em]till a woman appea[C]rs at th[Dm]e door[D]
[Dm]And the fires

[Verse 4]
[C]and the fog
and the falling leaves
Under October [G]skies
You walked me home in the
[C]cold after closing [Bm]time[Am]
As [C]the leaves rushed [G]by

[Verse 5]
How [Dsus4]I want to be lo[Am]ved[Em]
How [C]I need to be [Am]loved[Em]
[C]Now that I've found you,
I'd [Bm]do anyth[Am]ing fo[G]r you

[Verse 6]
[C]In the Forest of Angels that's
where we laid [G]you down
And I can [C]hear whispers
When the first frost falls on [G]the ground

[Verse 7]
[G]
You're [C]alive, just be thankful
[Em]For this time.[Am]

[Outro 1]
